How efficient would it be to build gigantic dipping turkeys next to lakes and oceans for power? I am legitimately curious about what practical problems this proposal would have. Does the device just break apart at that scale?

    They’re a type of heat engine using evaporation.

    Technically it would work, but it wouldn’t scale up nicely no.

    It would be far less efficient than everything we currently use for power.
